If you're wondering about those MLAs who are signing the separatist petition here's what they pledged
Surely at least a point of order when the Leg next meets.

YouTube video by Senator Paula Simons It's time to make an X-it: Senator Simons questions the Canadian government's continued use of X

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

What is the Status of the Shell/Pieridae Deal and What is the AER Doing? By: Nigel Bankes Matter commented on: Deferred Shell/Pieridae Licence Transfer Application: Amended Notice of Hearing, Proceeding 410, Shell Canada Limited and Pieridae Alberta Production Ltd., Car…

One example that gets no press.
In 2019, Shell transferred all of its rights in the Caroline, Jumping Pound and Waterton gas fields to Pieridae, now known as Cavvi.
And yet somehow Shell is still the licensee of record.
Intolerable.

Canvasser holding a clipboard of reasons to recall Mickey Amery while wearing a toque that says Recall Mickey

Busy day at the Village Square Leisure Centre! While you're here with your family, come find #RecallMickey and sign the petition to make our community stronger and more united! Chasia is here until 5 PM. #yyc #ableg #abpoli #OperationTotalRecall

We only have 4 more days left to sign the petition to recall the MLA for Red Deer South - Jason Stephan. Reject his separatist stance, reject his Christian nationalism, demand proper healthcare and education funding without privatization, stand for retaining the RCMP. AND HANDS OFF OUR PENSIONS!

Seems equally applicable here in Alberta.
“I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can ...".

Danielle Smith says 'significant' deficits to come, rules out tax hikes and big cuts | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says "significant" deficits are in store for the province as her government tries to grapple with low oil prices.

Once again, for the hundredth time: Alberta could solve this with a simple PST. You'd be able to balance the budget *and* save non-renewable resource royalties for the future.

But, of course, the self-appointed "fiscal conservatives" won't entertain the idea. #abpoli

I like that!

Stoked to get this via express mail from Elections Alberta.

That's quite the file you keep.

Agree. It just seems so front and centre here.

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Albertans are profoundly temporally selfish.
We’re happy to give the next generations the problems of infrastructure deficits, climate change & reclamation.
At the same time we're using resource revenues to subsidize our generation’s stand of living.

Surely at least some of his disciples need to remind him of the first two commandments. Or perhaps they actually think he is god. LOL.

And "got created" - can we just call out, once again, the use of the passive voice which always disguises agency.
Apart from a brief ND interregnum, successive Alberta conservative governments created the problem.
And it's time they owned it and stopped stealing from their grandchildren. #abpoli

Makes one want to know what the owners of the Ambassador Bridge paid (i.e. bribed) President Trump to launch this salvo.
This is what happens when monopolists have access to an executive power that knows no restraints on its own self aggrandizement.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

"Canceling this project will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately fewer jobs. With this threat, the President is punishing Michiganders for a trade war he started…President Trump has kicked them [Canada] in the teeth for a year."

Thank you. Good reminder to look at how transition issues were dealt with in the NDP off-coal arrangements. Smith likes to weaponize the language of energy transition.

Is it time? Every now and then, my long-suffering spouse will look up from reading the news and say “is it time?” This is shorthand for “is it time to sell the house and get the heck out of this province?”

The latest from @jlisayoung.bsky.social

Time to get vocal if you don't want to be packing your bags, or selling in a falling market.
